Another Week come and gone

Hola Familia! well this week has gone by super super quickly. I dont even know what to tell you so sorry if this week the letter is kind of short. First off i want to wish Colby HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! Can´t believe my oldest bro is going to be 28. wow you´re old. But I hope you have a great day and know that Ill be thinking about you lots! This week we have been struggling to find new people who are positive and bringing new people to church. I feel like this week was a test of my patience and I know we just need to keep working hard and pray lots. One of our investigators is Hna Deysi. She has been receiving the missionaries for like 6 months now because her daughter was baptized 6 months ago. I love her and her daughter. They sell cupcakes and cookies and also Hna Deysi sews! haha. She has been living with someones but he doesnt want anything to do with the church. She has been waiting patiently to see if he will change, but he doesnt want to get married and he doesnt have anything to do with the church. So now after 6 months she has decided to seperate from him. Right now we are just looking for houses for her. She always goes to church and she is super great. Her birthday is on January 31 and so she wants to be baptized on this day too. She is like well if I am going to be "born again" and start this new life it would be a great day to do it haha so we are excited for her. We just need to pray that she´ll find a house. Also this week I had an interesting experience. Last week we contacted a lady and she said we could come back this week. So sunday we passed by and she let us in. we started teaching her and then her boyfriend entered the room. He came up to me and was like "I remember you! do you remember me?" turns out I had contacted him on the bus like 2 months ago. But when I took down his address I didnt know where that part of the area was and we never found his house. I feel like God has led me back to him and we had a good lesson with them. His name is Jose and her name is Jadina. Jose is really catholic but he likes to visit other churches. When we were talking to him he told us that he has some questions that he never has found the answer to in no church. One of these was "where did we come from?" haha sounds like the plan of salvation to me! we were able to share more and he was really interested. So we will see what happens there. Hna Timoteo is coming along with her spanish. She still struggles understanding people so I have to remember to be patient with that. I just have to remind myself how I felt at the beginning. But I feel like this week we had some special experiences where she bore a really strong testimony to one of the families we are teaching and she was able to express herself perfectly. Also she is starting to talk more in the lessons so that is great. Anyways those were some of the small things that happened this week. Also this week Cesar received the priesthood and a calling so that was great. Also guess who now lives with us? Hna flores had cambios this week and received a new companion. And it is Hna Mayorga who was my last comp in Ahuachapan! haha So now I live with 3 of my comps. Thats pretty cool. So ya anyways I am just hoping that this week we can see some miracles and find new people to bring to church. All is well here in El Salvador. Love you all! Hermana Groneman
